Apparently I'm too subtle tonight. Yes, sarcasm.

What a scoop!APF said:McCain's camp and IIRC the candidate himself have also praised them and pointed folks to the site.
BTW I hear Palin has a black baby
No, she's with the eskimos for independence for Alaska.APF said:I'm sure there are other whisper campaigns you can start though, like maybe she's racist against Eskimos or something
devilhawk said:Here is the city of Wasilla's official document concerning any banned books incident. The link to the pdf is in the list. It also includes list to financial reports and other documentation relelvant to the years she was mayor.

Edit: And the 'new lists' that are going around aren't real either. Deleting the Harry Potter books from the 'old list' doesn't make it real.
I'm already running with the black baby story, but I might follow up with you on the Eskimo thing tomorrow.APF said:I'm sure there are other whisper campaigns you can start though, like maybe she's racist against Eskimos or something
i have a friend working for the Obama campaign in VA and their registration numbers are well beyond expectations at the moment. there was also an outpouring in volunteers the day after Palin's speech, but, as you said, old habits die hard.Y2Kev said:edit: I'm gonna come right out and say that I don't think Virginia would ever go blue despite Kaine and Warner. I just don't. Call it old habits die hard or whatever but I do not see Virginia going blue on election night.
capslock said:Ok, ignore the list I posted, it was from the thread of responses to the Wasilla documents at Kos, it's probably fake. Apologies to Palin and her supporters, I will delete it.
Whatever, just make me proud to be an American.Steve Youngblood said:I'm already running with the black baby story, but I might follow up with you on the Eskimo thing tomorrow.
Palin says thanks but no thanks to things even though she really did say thanks. She's such a tough woman. Which should make you feel like a tough man -- and American, dammit.APF said:Whatever, just make me proud to be an American.
He really shouldn't have done that without your consent, but obviously, he sees potential in you.Shins said:My boss volunteered me to work for the local Obama campaign office. They have all my personal information, and they won't stop contacting me.
I feel so violated.
gkrykewy said:Yes, that's exactly it. University professors brainwashing our young people who, of course, can't think for themselves. Curse those "learned" hacks! Fortunately there are fair and balanced alternatives, where evangelical conservatives (who have a gold star record of thinking for themselves!) can preserve their shining intellectual virtue.
The only one to make this political circus was McCain by selecting someone that was already under investigation to be his VP pick.Guts Of Thor said:Edit: From the article: "We all support somebody in this political race, but he took it right smack into this (investigation)," Coghill said of French. "I don't want to stop the investigation, but I think Sen. French has made it very difficult to get an independent view."

So, you hate liberalism because of the big government social programs? Am I correct in this assumption?HokieJoe said:My attitudes are mostly conservative now because I've seen what this intrusive government do-gooder bullshit has wrought first hand.

i wrote this earlier, but i'm still optimistic that the DNC/Obama's ground game will make the difference in the swing states.

SEP. 26 - "The first presidential debate, at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, will focus on foreign policy and national security. John McCain and Barack Obama will stand at lecterns and answer questions from moderator Jim Lehrer."
Jim Lehrer recently explained to CJR Daily (6/2/06) how he views his job at the NewsHour: My part of journalism is to present what various people say . . . the best we can find out [by] reporting. . . . Im not in the judgment part of journalism. Im in the reporting part of journalism.
But the decision about exactly which various people will be given the opportunity to say what they wish about events is a crucial judgment part of journalism. As the anchor and executive editor, Lehrer bears much responsibility for those decisions, and as FAIRs study shows, the judgments that Lehrer and the NewsHour have made present viewers with virtually the same voices heard in corporate media, voices that overwhelmingly represent those in power rather than the public that PBS is obliged to serve.
OCT. 2 - "The vice presidential debate will be held at Washington University in St. Louis."
OCT. 7 - "The second presidential debate, at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., will have a town-hall-style format. Moderator Tom Brokaw will call on audience members and pose questions submitted through the Internet."
OCT. 15 - "The final presidential debate, at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., will center on domestic and economic policy. Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama will sit at a table with moderator Bob Schieffer."

this is already the shittiest pseudo-analysis i've read. at least watch the News Hour yourself before parsing someone else's musings on it.AniHawk said:Reevaluation of the debates:
Debate 1
Most Americans view McCain as the one with the most foreign policy experience, the best suited for a terrist attack, the toughest of the two, etc. Jim Lehrer is the host of NewsHour:
- quoted garbage -
So debate #1 will definitely go to McCain.

Cloudy said:Just saw the 2nd part of the Obama/O'Reilly interview. Barack was on point and made his case even though Bill is so fucking rude...
Agent Icebeezy said:Obama is on the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Don't sell him so short.
After months of record-breaking fund-raising, a new sense of urgency in Senator Barack Obamas fund-raising team is palpable as the full weight of the campaigns decision to bypass public financing for the general election is suddenly upon it.
David Plouffe, the Obama campaign manager, said the majority of the Obama campaigns donors during the primary had yet to write checks for the general election. When they do, he said, it will be the equivalent of the large injection of cash the McCain campaign is receiving from the government about $70 million or $80 million.
no, no. the CORPORATE right. you know those corporate sponsors shown before and following the show?ronito said:wait NewsHour is suddenly a bastion for the right?
Yes, and Gwen Ifill is a chick so obviously she'll be a mindless shill for someone who shares her genetic profile.ronito said:wait NewsHour is suddenly a bastion for the right?
Well that's a powerful and succinct summary. I wonder if I should keep reading.factcheck said:She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library.
hmm..factcheck said:Its true that Palin did raise the issue with Mary Ellen Emmons, Wasillas librarian, on at least two occasions.
factcheck said:Wasilla resident Anne Kilkenny, who was at the meeting, corroborates Emmons' story, telling the Chicago Tribune that "Sarah said to Mary Ellen, 'What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?' "
Well, I guess if was more of a tepid, casual book ban effort/loyaltry purge that's not such a bad thing, right. I mean people are making making up lists over here! Why did Palin change her mind though? Factcheck doesn't say, but I wonder what their own own source for debunking the book banning "smear" says about it.factcheck said:Moreover, although Palin fired Emmons as part of a "loyalty" purge, she rehired Emmons the next day, and Emmons remained at her job for two-and-a-half more years.
Chicago Tribune said:After a wave of public support on Emmons' behalf, Palin relented and let her keep her job.
